I never tried or came across anyone w/ Bavarian's springs but those are great deals for sure considering Bilstein SP is around $ 612 a set shipped.
Check w/ Bavarian to find out more about their spring more.
Ask them how does it compare to OEM Non Sport and OEM Sport Suspension and other brands (like Eibach Sportline/H&R Sport)
I was just wondering if Bavarian's springs are actually a re badged Eibach/H&R w/ similar spec but marketed as Bavarian spring.

My scanner is acting up. Looks like the USB port is broken or something. Can't recognize it.
Looked around the Bentley manuals.
It seemed that they are pretty much the same w/ the TIS PDF so please just use that.
One trick I learned yesterday when I was working on the arms in relation to working on spring install.
If you LOOSEN the control arms bolts that bolt into the frame, the hub is super loose to push down for strut removal clearance.
So you will be able to get away from having to remove all the control arm ball joints from the front knuckle.
